About Us

QuickSet was founded in 1999, although our research in Color Control for web offset printing via ink pre-sets dates back to 1981, over 14 years before the CIP3 Consortium was even formed. Our first product, introduced in 1999, was the patented QuickSet lever, the industry’s top selling and most popular lever retrofit with over 250,000 levers installed worldwide. QuickSet introduced its flagship ink pre-setting product in 2003, 24 years after its first development efforts. You may ask “Why did it take so long?” Well, QuickSet is the only company that has been successful in developing a method to capture the exact characteristics of every aspect of a web offset printing unit, a feat that has eluded every other vendor – and it took many years to perfect. These characteristics include the variations seen at every ink adjustment position and even blade flexion characteristics. We have been able to develop methods to use this information to produce extremely accurate ink pre-sets. We have captured on video a QuickSet user who routinely gets to True Color with QuickSet ink pre-sets in 1/10th the number of impressions compared to this same customer’s Closed-Loop system starting with a CIP3 ink pre-set. QuickSet’s ink pre-setting system produces the most accurate ink pre-sets in the world. Recently, QuickSet has become a primary contact (for its sister company, Color Impact International) for sales of the Quick-Start Tower, a revolutionary compact low-profile web offset printing unit that prints 4-color on both sides of the web with perfect corner-to-corner register. The price/performance ratio and low-cost-of-ownership of the Quick-Start Tower is better than any other web offset printing unit ever built.
